Tonight, MuchMoreMusic screened Kylie Minogue: Showgirl, which was filmed in Australia last autumn. Brilliant, jubilant stuff - I grinned like an idiot throughout and bounced along to all the hits. Kylie has really come into her own these last few years, since she stopped trying to be something she isn't (Indie Kylie?!). At the end of the day, she's a cheeseball disco queen, but she's fantastically good at it. Showgirl showcased her to the hilt - though it also really played up her status as a gay icon. She was accompanied throughout the show by a bevy of hunky himbo dancers, and performed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (!) whilst seated high above the stage on a glittery crescent moon.
I'd love to see one of her shows someday - though it's unlikely it will be here. She's never been anywhere near as popular in North America as she is in Europe and Australia.
